Will an employer see my record for shoplifting after 2 yrs have passed?

Yes. In most cases (unless you received a deferred sentence of some kind) it will continue to appear on your record unless you apply to the court to have it vacated. For misdemeanor shoplifting cases, a person can apply to the court to have the conviction vacated after three years (from the date of sentence).

How long does a statutory rape case stay open?

The statute of limitations depends on the particular level of statutory rape (now called "rape of a child"). Rape of a Child 3rd degree may not be prosecuted more than three years after its commission. For second or first degree may not be prosecuted more than three years after the victim's eighteenth birthday or more than seven years after their commission, whichever is later. You should consult with a lawyer, however, if you want a clear answer on how the statute of limitations affects...

I am completing a deferred dispositon in juvenile court. When will my right to possess gun be restored.

A juvenile deferred disposition counts as a conviction for firearms revocation purposes, even after dismissal. If you want your firearm rights back you will need to apply to the court, and you can only do so after the applicable waiting period has passed (5 years for felonies and 3 for misdemeanors, from the date of conviction). So it is still a felony offense for you to possess a firearm. You will want to hire an attorney once the waiting period has passed.
